The district is mainly inhabited by immigrants and their descendants from the Puno region and the mountainous regions of Moquega and Tacna. Even today the settlement areas are separated according to the origin of the population. For example, the population in the Eloy G. Ureta sector has its roots in the Moquegua, Arequipa and Cusco regions, as well as the Sama , Ite and Locumba districts and the Tarata province . The settlements of Pueblo Joven San Martín and Pueblo Joven Alto de la Alianza are mostly inhabited by immigrants from the districts of Tarata , Tarucachi and Candarave . This allows the population to preserve their traditions, customs and festivals.
